This TR provides a study on scenarios of multiple operators sharing radio network resources and creates potential requirements that complement existing system capabilities for sharing common E-UTRAN resources.

The scenarios illustrate e.g.:

Means for efficiently sharing common E-UTRAN resources according to identified RAN sharing scenarios (e.g. pooling of unallocated radio resources).

Means to verify that the shared network elements provide allocated E-UTRAN resources according to sharing agreements/policies.

Indication of and potential actions upon overload situation in consideration of sharing agreements/policies.
